Start with the shoes,
end with an impression.

Rehlee Balisi and Cory Kierstead won’t be caught dead in less-than-fashionable footwear. So after a few years of traipsing around Toronto looking at people from toe to head, they decided to do a very, very good deed -- open a shoe store with
killer style.

And so B A L I S I was born in the Spring of ‘06. Although it’s still a baby in the shoe biz, it surely has Little Italy and Queen West abuzz with excitement -- what with its Euro flair and fearless brands like Fly London, Miz Mooz, Irregular Choice, El Naturalista, Colcci, Firetrap, Eject and dozens more. And what’s a killer pair of stilettos without an accomplice purse? Or an oversized belt? Or chandelier earrings? Thankfully, B A L I S I has the ultimate one-of-a-kind accessories you won’t find anywhere else (well, maybe except on the runway or on your fave celebrity.)

Late-night shopaholics are also thrilled with the 10pm close time, and with the straight-up, totally-clued-in fashion advice from the staff. So stop by soon, and you’ll get stopped on the street by complete strangers soon after.
